Overview
Step back in time on a private journey to Antietam, site of the bloodiest single day in American history. Travel in comfort from the DC area with a professional historian guide and discover where 23,000 soldiers were killed, wounded, or went missing during the pivotal Battle of Antietam. Explore the Visitor Center, then walk the hallowed grounds of the Cornfield, Sunken Road (Bloody Lane), and Burnside Bridge—each etched with stories of courage and sacrifice. Learn how this Union victory ended Lee’s first invasion of the North and inspired Lincoln’s preliminary Emancipation Proclamation.
